I used this for the first time a few weeks ago for a two day car camping trip. It worked wonderfully to clear overhanging brush and branches near my car and to allow for the hatch to remain open. It cut through branches and vines easily and the sharp edges did not bend. I did not cut any wood for a campfire so I can’t speak to how it handles thicker dense branches.
It folds in half easily and the blade tips are hidden safely within the shaft when stored. Super easy to use.
For my purposes I am happy I bought this item and highly recommend it.
bought to replace the travel gooseneck kettle i had, as i wanted to consolidate my fuel and stove options down for my car camp kit. packs down to a fraction of the size and fits with the more compact stove/fuel option. large enough to do one large cup of coffee or two smaller ones. very impressed with the quality
Forget the “pressure” or “micro-pressure” claims; this pot is vented. Instead, know that this is a VERY good small STEAMER. The texture of the finished rice is better than any other option I’ve tried at home (pot on the stove, electric rice cooker, or pressure cooker) or when out camping (no more burned rice), although it is slower than these alternatives. It should slso make a great (small) steamer, although I have not yet tried it for that.
👍👍👍As a youtube bushcraft, camping and survival
Content creator for @themontanaoutdoorreset channel in montana this stove has been a great asset to my adventures. The stove works flawless in the wind, rain, snow and at elevations at and above
10,000 ft. And temps below zero degrees.
❤️❤️❤️Only one One improvement, it could have is a built-in striker That don't fail.❤️❤️❤️
Very well made. Makes a GREAT cup of coffee. I have only made hot coffee with sweetened condensed milk and it's fantastic! Looking forward to trying vietnamese iced coffee.
You need to add the volume markings for less than full pot volume that are so handy in its twin brother "olicamp xts pot". superior design otherwise--random luck that the 750 mark ==4 cups
The lid is genius!
Excellent pot for boiling water, light weight and well made. works flawlessly with the msr pocket rocket
The kettle is great and works perfectly for pour over coffee. The shipping took a lot longer than what it said when I ordered. I needed it for a trip and it arrived late. I would recommend ordering from Amazon if you need it fast.. although they don't have the pour over kettle listed yet. Item is 5 star and shipping was 3 star..
Cool little lantern that makes those nearly empty canisters have a use. The glow is relaxing, mild and makes the end of day at camp blend to darkness with style. I’ve enjoyed it over my usual Coleman style lanterns.
I very much enjoy having and using this kettle. The compact size makes it very easy to pack and carry. The measurement markings allow consistent brews every time for tea or coffee. Fuel consumption is minimal because of water measurement and quick boil time.
Just took this pot on a 4 day backpacking trip in Arkansas. It worked great. My son was so jealous of it that I came back and bought one for him too.
excellent stove and perfect for the kind of outdoor things i do in my free time
A bit small for truly being able to cook for a group of four while camping. I noticed that some of the larger sets have a bigger kettle and larger pots. Those sized items would be better for this set. But we didn't need the backpacking component so we went with this one. Ultimately, I wish that it was a bit bigger. Also, the sponge is incredibly low quality. HOWEVER, everything worked just as designed.
Love this thing! You can store snacks in it for the trail or use it like I do. I bought a number of screw top glass bottles that are just the right size to fit in it. Now I have spices for any cooking I do and it fits perfectly in my sling pack and 35L pack.
Loved my Star X2 system so much that I picked up a Petrel Quickboil Pro system at REI! I wanted something a little smaller for my sling pack, but still big on the features I loved in my Star 2X. Picked up the French Press for it as well! Looking forward to many years of coffee on the trail when I’m on a day hike with my wife. Perfect size for two cups!
This stove is awesome for when you want something that is light in the pack but big on usefulness. Whether it’s heating water for a meal or making a hot drink, it is the perfect system.
Well-made, table materials are very good. It would be nice to have an option for a lighter cover. Actual weight with a cover is 493 grams. The cover weighs 70 grams, which is significant
I have a sentimental attachment to my old Svea stove. I haven’t seen it mentioned elsewhere, but it pairs nicely with the G3 both for cooking and packing (see pics). I left the Svea aluminum cup at home and stowed the G3 lid with food stuff. The stove is not light, but it makes me smile.
Excellent, other than bail on kettle needs to lock in up position
Awesome piece and great value compared to expensive versions that do the same thing
The G2 750 ml is great for 1 to 3 people. The handle locks the lid down tight.
WHAT?!?! I thought this was going to be a gimmick but it’s one of my most used accessories for cookware. Trust me if you have a stove that will fit this, buy it yesterday. You won’t be disappointed with this. Sorry I don’t have any pics. I will add them when I get back out there
Great set of cookware. Although small it can do most everything you need to cook each day.
